A Text Block is a component of a model document. Text Blocks are typically used for model parts that only hold text, possibly with some variable fields, but no ITP instructions. Therefore users who have no understanding of model documents and the ITP instruction language can maintain Text Blocks. Text Blocks are created and maintained in their own editor, the Text Block editor. This editor has limited functions to layout the Text Block. Changing a Text Block does not require recreating the ITP Model.
Models that are run with ITP/Workstation cannot use any kind of Text Block functionality, and interactive Text Block questions can only be used in models that are run with ITP/OnLine Server.
Text Blocks are typically included in the model document with the instruction TEXTBLOCK. Refer to the ITP Model language Help for more information on this instruction.
Note
For OpenOffice.org documents the `Text Block style´ document is not default available. To add the styles for the Text Blocks, you need to take action yourself. Refer to Style Document for more information.
